Juventus have the best midfield in Europe, says Davids

The legendary Dutchman is impressed with the Serie A champions' options and feels they could outplay any other team on the continent

Edgar Davids says Juventus have the best midfielders in Europe and hopes Arturo Vidal will get the recognition he deserves.

Head coach Antonio Conte has players such as Paul Pogba, Vidal, Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio at his availability and Davids believes the aforementioned players have more to offer than the highly-rated midfields of teams like Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

"Juventus have the strongest midfield in Europe in my opinion," the Dutchman was quoted as saying by Tuttosport.

"Pogba is an extraordinary talent.

"And then there's Vidal, who is already a real champion. He can become even better, though, and develop into a phenomenon.

"I hope that one day Vidal will be mentioned among other Juventus legends, because he certainly has the abilities to achieve that."

Davids has also said that he feels that Neymar's move to Barcelona is far from certain to prove a success.

"It's going to be hard for Neymar," he told Voetbal International.

"Barcelona pass the ball a lot and he is used to being in possession. The way Barca play is very different to how Neymar plays. But he has the potential to be one of the best players in the world."
